Our Guest
Congresswoman Maxine Waters Elected in November 2002 to her seventh term in the House of Representatives with an overwhelming 77.6 percent of the votes in the 35th District of California, Congresswoman Maxine Waters represents a large part of South Central Los Angeles, the Westchester community and the diverse cities of Gardena,
Hawthorne, Inglewood and Lawndale.
Formerly the Chair of the 39-member Congressional Black Caucus (1997-98), Rep. Waters has held the influential leadership position of Chief Deputy Whip of the Democratic Party since the 106th Congress and was recently named
Co-Chair of the powerful House Democratic Steering Committee.
The Haiti Action Committee is a San Francisco Bay Area-based network of activists in the USA who have supported the Haitian struggle for democracy since 1991. Members foster extensive contacts with the grassroots movements in Haiti. We also wish to link journalists who want to hear an alternative viewpoint with sources both in Haiti and in the United States.
Haiti Reborn, a project of the Quixote Center, works in the United States on behalf of the Haitian people to build an active grassroots solidarity movement and to advocate for a more just U.S. foreign policy. Haiti Reborn acts as a center of information to combat negative stereotypes, and provides in-depth political, economic and social analysis. To compliment this work at a structural level, we fund community-based initiatives which empower Haitians at the grassroots.
